'You Got To Do Something': Police, Community Pitch In To Help Elderly Woman Who Was Robbed At Gunpoint

Seventy-three-year-old Helene Sackowitz was devastated two weeks ago when she was robbed at gunpoint. Sackowitz, who works part time at Disney World, was robbed immediately after she withdrew $140 from the bank. Just like that, her entire allowance for the week was gone.

Sackowitz isn't being hung out to dry, though, thanks in large part to the local police. Soon after her story was reported on, donations started pouring in from people both in the Orlando community and elsewhere.

The Orlando Police Department gave Sackowitz a handful of gifts and a gift card. A complete stranger bought her a brand new electric scooter. A Go Fund Me page dedicated to her by a kind stranger raised over $2,500 in 11 days.
